My First Attempt at Reverse Glass Painting

Sun fascinates me...

Somehow it brings a brightness with its vibrant red , yellow and Orange colors...

That was in my third year of college... April 2005. i still remember i was enjoying the sunny afternoon eating those juicy oranges...and don't know what made me suddenly enthusiastic in the lazy sun...I went in to my room...removed this glass window covering the water cooler..took out my white glass pencil and started to draw on the glass. It was my first attempt and what i draw unintentionally is generally up to my expectations..rather than racking my brains over some thing to draw..:)

That's the design you can see in the picture!! simple yet i like it:)
that's called reverse glass painting because the side of the painted glass goes inside the frame and the final painting is the mirror image of what we actually draw...so we have to be very careful when working with reverse glass paintings...
Tip:  For reverse glass paintings, the minute things like jewellery or facial expressions etc have to be colored first and background later..coz only then they'll be visible from the other side of the glass..!

Will keep you posted with more paintings and crafts..! just getting started:)
